Johk A. Loo An will soon publish a
book entitled "The Great Conspiracy,"
written by himself and revised by his
wife, in which he undertakes to tell the
causes that led to the civil war. As
that is a question wbich has been reason
ably well understood la all sections of
the country ever since the first shot was
flred at Fort Sumter, in April 1861, It
Is difficult to perceive what additional
light Logan can throw upon it. If Lo
gan, however, in his forth coming
"Great Conspiracy'', has made it clear
what motives removed the doubts that
oppressed his mind as to the side he
should take at the beginning of the war,
bis book will command a good price
and a ready sale.
William A. Kearnbt, a young
lawyer of Logansport, Indiana, Is in ja'.l
In that city charged with horse Btealing.
He had a wide reputation throughout
his State as a very effective speaker at
Democratic meetings, and gained a
great deal of uotoriety during last year's
Presidential campaign by renouncing
the Democratic party and going over to
Blaine and Logan. After his flop be
fcnoraffed at a very bih compenstion
by the Republican State Committee,
and made speeches in favor of Blaine's
election all over tht State. "We are far
from saying that being a renegade from
his party Kearney naturally drifted
into the ignoble career of a horse thief,
but it is not a too violent presamption
that if bad stood by his political faith
and contributed bis influence in achiev
ing Cleveland's decisive victory In Indi
ana last November, be would not now
be oecupjiog a prisoner's cell in the
Logaosport jail with a pretty good
chance of going to the penitentiary.
A tew weeks ago the Republican
papers announced that Judge Thurman,
of Ohio, was. so disgusted with Cleve
land's Administration in general, and
wih tbe McLean wing of the Buckeye
Democracy in particular, that he had
stubbornly refused to take any part In
the campaign now going on in that
State. But Thurman iin'i that kind of
a man, as everyone who knows anything
about him felt confident he was not,
and the old "war' horse" proposes
next week to take the stump in favor
of Hoadly, and aid him in burying out
of sight the bloody shirt, which is tbe
political stock in trade of John Sherman
and Foraker, his candidate for Gover
nor. It was said also by the same Re
publican press that the battle scarred
hero, Gen. Durbin Ward, wouldn't
open his lips in favor of Iloadly, but he
seems to be in the fight witn his coat
off and his sleeves rolled up, from tbe
fact that after he bad made a speech
nn Hit last, week in funr IK. r-.

'-' ticket, be was assanlted
and knocked down by Lot Wright, the
notorious ex-U. S. Mai shall for the
Southern district of Ohio. The Ohio
campaign is becoming lively and excit
ing. Adam Brabender, President of the
Erie County Savings Bank, who con
spired with Reuben Pettlt, its Cashier,
to wreck that institution, was tried ard
convicted in the criminal conrt at Erie
last week and sentenced to two years in
tha Western Penitentiary. Brabender
is sixty-two years old, was one of tb
pillars of his church, superintendent of
a Sunday school, and a highly respected
citizen. He and Pettit, who fled to
Canada, tbe refuge of all bank scoun
drels, used over 1140,000 of the bank's
funds in gralc and oil speculations;
Brabender usirg his clok cf religion
and hla position as a Sunday school man
to obtain from tbe poor, women aa well
as men, their baid earnings. A num
ber of tbem have become Insane since
the failure of tbe bank. Biabender's
counsel made a strong appeal for mercy
on the old plea of tbe age and high
etandlng of the defendant, but Judge
Galbraitb declared that his good char
acter 'n wbich the depositors had re
posed their faith, instead of mitigating
bis offense only gave it increased aggra
vation. D shorest bank officials are not,
as a general rule, punished in this State,
and HrabeLder's case is a notable excep
tion to all former experience. Savings
banks are the usual depositories of poor
people who place implicit faith in tbe
integrity of tbe officers who control and
manage them, and when one of them
gees to wort: as Brabender did, and
robs tbe confiding depositors by embark
iDg in hazardous speculations with their
money, every sentiment of justice
sternly demands that the full penalty of
the law shall le.vir.ited upon him.
W publish elsehere the official re
turns ot the Democratic primajy elec
tion held oa Saturday last. The election
In the different districts throughout the
eounty was remarkably quiet and unat
tended with any excitement. Neither
of the two candidates for Bhertfl, oce of
whom resides la the northern portion of
the county and the other in the south
ern portion, made any special effort to
bring out the vote in tin own section,
and tbe vote polled was consequently
but little more than half as large as that
polled at the primary election a year
ago laat June. Indoed, as tbe return
show, in four dialricU Inside of the ter
ritory of tbe old District Court and la
one (Jackson) adjoining that territory,
as well as la Kede township, la th ex
treme north eaet era part of tbe county,
no election m held at all. It Is not
goicg too far to aay. Judging from the
way tbe vote la tbe two aections was
cast, that If an election had been held
in tbe five dialrieta referred to a differ,
ot result, so far as the comiaatlon for
t-beriff is concerned, would most proba
bly have beo produced. This, however,
is not a matter now to be discussed, and
the election having been belJ according
to tha established roles of the party, and
the result ascertained without any alle
gation of fraud on the part of tbe elec
tion officers, it is tbe duty of every
Democrat to give the nominee a cordial
and earnest support. In addition to
this as a reason why the nominee should
receive the sold vote of the Democracy
of the county, there remains the other
and conclusive reason that the candi
dates are each and all reputable citizens
and well qualified for the respective offi
ces for which they have been chosen.
They have been openly and fairly se
lected by tne Democratic voters accord
ing to the method established by the
Democracy themselves to ascertain their
will, and being thus regularly put in the
field it is the duty of every Democrat
who believes in the supremacy of his
party in county affairs, to give them an
enthusiastic and undivided support.
It peem9 that so grave an an offense
as altering the tally sheet of a ward
election In Philadelphia by a notorious
Republican politician, for which he was
tried and sentenced to tbe county prison,
it no obstruction to his nomination for
election to tbe Common Council of that
city. In December, 1881, "Dave"
Mouat, as he is called, was convicted In
the Quarter Sessions Court of Philadel
phia for having entered tbe election
house in the ICth division of the the
Fifth ward and altered the tally sheets.
On December 21, 1885, Judge Biddle
sentenced him to two years in the coun
ty prison, and to pay a fine of f 1,000.
One of the penalties under the Consti
tution attached to a conviction for this
crime is the absolute deprivation of the
right of suffrage for the term of four
years. Jude Eiddle was renominated
by the Republicans ou "Wednesday of
last week, and on the very same day
".Dave" Mouat was nominated by the
npWi.o of Ua Fift fi ward thp'r
candidate for Common Council. His
right to vote will not be restored until
tbe 21st of next December, foar years
rrom trie date of his sentence to the
conty prison. A great many Republi
cans in Philadelphia are dumbfounded
at Mouat s nomination, but when Quay's
record at Ilatrisburg in connection
with the Pittsburg riot damage bill and
nis action as a member of the Pardon
AJoard in turning Kemble ont of jail,
n.cu iuiu consideration, it seems
like the eternal fitness of things for the
itepunncans in the Ffth ward to Dut
r m. .... .
iouai on me nckel with Quay. They
are a -nice pair," and the Philadelphia
itepuoiican who can stand one of them
can easily swallow both.
if tub late idgar Cowan had lived
until last Saturday he would have been
seventy years old, and in consideration
Jl L . ....
oi ma eminent acuity and his public
services in tbe Senate of the TJunitad
States, which gave him a national repu
tation, a memorial meeting in his honor
was held in the court room at Greens
burg on that day. The meeting was a
large one, composed of judges and attor
ucjro iron me neignDoring counties,
the entire Greensburg bar and a large
representation of Mr. Cowan's friends
and neighoors. It was expected that
Vice-President Hendricks, who served
in tne faenate with Mr. Cowan, would
be present, but be was unable to attend.
several addresses were delivered th
longest BDd most u 'I
of .. -.cresting being that
.mam D. Moore, formerly of
Greensburg, but for several years past a
leading member of the Pittsburg bar.
In tbe course of his address Mr- Moore
reproduced Mr. Cowan's own words In
a speech on the floor of tbe Senate when
f he felt constrained to leaye the Repub
lican party, owing to the vindictive re
construction measures introduced into
the House by its leader, Thaddeus Ste
vens, who was the worst enemy at that
time, either in or out of Congress, to
the peace of the country. On the occa
sion referred to Mr. Cowan took his
stand against Stevens's revolutionary
policy by fearlessly declaring : "I
wold father be torn to pieces by wild
horses on the floor of this Senate, than
give up my conviction at the command
of any man. 1 have no master." I never
had a master, and I never will have one
hereafter."
Telegrams were sent by Mr. Stenger,
Secretary of the Commonwealth, on
Monday last, to the newspapers through
out tbe State authorized to print the
Constitutional amendment, directing
the discontinuance of its publication
because of the discovery that tbeamend
ment did not pass the House, although
when it was laid before the Governor
the signatures of tbe Speakers of both
branches of the Legislature were affixed
to it. The Johnstown Tribune enjoys
among tbe Republican editors in the
State the undivided credit
discovered that Gov. Pattlaon and Mr.
Stenger are responsible for the publica
tion of the amendment and the expense
to tbe State thereby incurred, although
by common consent at narrisburg the
entire blame is fastened upon the stu
pidity of A. J. Colborn, tbe Republican
message clerk of the Houae. The 7Vi6
une, bowevtr, always delights in taking
a whack at a Democratic official, even
though there is a total lack of evidence
to Justify it.
Jnoe Black oa Railroad Dinrrlinf nation -
Perhaps the last speech ever delivered
by tbe late Judge Black was his argu
ment before a committee of the State
Senate In tbe spring of 1883, In favor of
a bill enforcing with adequate penalties
tbe Seventeenth Article of the Consti
tution, known as the Railroad Article.
Whatever he aald on any important
question was always interesting, and
said In a way that was pecularl bis
ow. The concluding portion of bis
address was as follows :
We are often told that In this strug
gle for honest government against the
power of the railroad corporations the
Jnat cause has no chance of socceM.
We do eeem to be out on a forlorn bope.
Tbm little floRvr of crooopoly Is thicker
than the lotos of tbe lit.
Tbe Influence of our enemies over
tbe legislature It mysterious, Incalnl
able and strong enough to make tbe
constitution a dead letter In spite of
oaths to obev it. and a popular demand,
almoet universal, to enforce it. There
is no other subject upon wbich tbe press
is so shy aa npon this, the most import
ant of all. Afraid to opppse the cor
rupt corpora ions, and ashamed to de
fend them, it sinks into silent neu
trality. Prudent politicians always
want a smooth road to run on, and 'he
right path here is full of impediments.
In this state f things we seem to be
weaker than we really are; for the un
broken heart of tbe people is on the
side of justice, equality and truth. Mo
nopolists may sneer at our blundering
leadership and the unorganized condi
tion of our file, but they had better be
think them that when the worst comes
to tbe worst, our raw militia is numer
ous enough to overwhelm their regulars,
well-paid and well-drilled as they are.
THey have destroved the business of
hundreds for one that they have fav
ored. For every milionalre they have
made ten thousand nauners. and the in
jured parties lack no gall to make op
pression Ditter.
The people, csrtainly. got one Im
mense advantage over the carrying cor
porations wnen they adopted the XVII
article of the constitution. Th it con
cedes to us all the rights we ask, puts
the flAg of the commnnwealth into our
hands and consecrates our warfare.
Th malign influence that heretofore
as palsied the legislative arm cannot
last foreve. We will continue to elect
representatives agin and again, and j
every man will swear upon the gospel j
of God that he will do os the full and
perfect justice which the constitution
commands. At last we will rouse the
conscience of a majority, screw their
courage to the sticking place, and get
me appropriate legislation" which we
need so sorely.
Whenever a majority in both nouses
become independent enough to throw
off the chains wbich now bind them to
tbe service of monopoly when frequent
repititions of the oath to obey the con
stitution shall impress its obligations
upon their hearts when admonition
and leproof from whithin and without
"line upon line, precept upon pre
cept, here a little and there a little."
shall have taught them that fidelity to
the rights of the people is a higher vir
tue than subserviency to the mere in
terests of a corrupt corporation when
the Beventfen'.h article shall have been
read and reread in their hearing often
enough to make them understand the
import of Vs plain and simple words
then, without further delay and with
no paltiy excuses, the will give us
legislation appropriate, just and eflVc
tivo. A toleraMv clear nerceotiori of
their duty, complied with a sincere de
sire to do it, will enable them to catch
the shortest and easiest way. All trif
ling with the subject will cease at once;
all modes of evading this great point
will go out of fashion; no contrivance
will be resorted to of ways not to do it
while professing to be in favor of it; our
common sense will not be insulted by
the offer of a civil remedy to each in
dividual for public offenses which effect
the whole body of the people and di
minish the security of all men's rights
at once. The legislative vision, re
lieved from the moral strabismus which
makes it crooked now, will see straight
through the folly of trying to correct
tbe genera! evil except by the one ap
propriate means of regular punishment
at the suit of the state. Does this seem
harsh? Certainly not more severe than
any other criminal law on our statute
book which applies to railway managers
as well as to everpbody else. They need
not suffer tbe penalty unless they com
mit the crime; and they will not com
mit the crime if you make a just penalty
of the legal consequence. Pass a proper
law to-day and they will be as honest
as you are to morrow. Every one of
them can be trusted to keep clear of
acts which may take him to the peni
tentiary. They have bien guilty in
tbeir past liven, and will continue in
evil doing for some time to come, be
cause the present state of your lawa as
sures them that they shall "go nn
whipped of justice." But threaten
them with a moderate term of impris
onment and a reasonable fine, and they
will no mere rob a shipper on the. rail
road than tbey will pick your pocket at
a prayer meeting. Your law will do
Its work without a B,ugie prosecution.

perfect reform, and yet not hurt a hair
on any bead "a consummation most
devoutly to ) wished."
But it is not to be expected that such
good will come immediately. Nearly
ten years ago the Legislature was com
manded to carry out the beneficent
measure of the constitution. For nine
years that illustrious body was a dumb
impediment to the course of Justice all
its faculties paralyzed by some inscru
table influence dead devoid of sense
aud motion, as if its only function was
to "He in cold abstraction and to rot."
At last, when it was wakened up by the
present Governor and reminded of the
seventeenth article, it opened its mouth
and spoke as one who did not know
whether he was sworn to oppose the
constitution orto obey it. Some mem
bers have shown their utter hostility to
it, some eeera willing to defend small
portions of it, and one Senotor discover
ed that it was all equally sacred. But
his plan meets no favor. Still, we need
not despair. The people and the con
stitution, mutually supporting one an
other, will be triumphant yet. Mean
while let all the railroad rings rejoice.
This is their day; ours is to come.
Ihb Philadelphia Record says: "If
there were no othei issue between tbe
parties in this State this year, the dif
ference in the candidates would incline
the conscientious voter to support Mr.
Day in preference to Mr. Quay. But an
issue has been forced to the front which
is altogether apart from the merits of
the party nominees. Tbe attempt to
regulate the railroad companies of the
Slate so that they shall not discriminate
against tbe interest of the people, and
shall not prevent the natural growth of
competition in the carrying business,
should have the support of every voter
who desires to promote the public good.
On this issue Mr. Day should carry the
State 1 y as large a majority as was given
to tbe State Constitution at tbe lime of
its adoption. The coming election is
only a re-affirmation of that verdict.
There ought not to be a single vote ia
Ibis city or Pittsburg cast on the side
of the railroad monopolies outside of
the votes wbich tbe corporations con
trol. Somk one with a philosopic turn of
mind has arrived at the conclusion that
"the shorter a man is tbe longer he is
j in paying nit aebt9."

From oar rofular OoTrepolnt.
Washington, September 21, 19S5.
The sppearance about Washington
of the familiar faces of public men who,
through modern pictorial art are known
almost as well In the bamlets of this
vast country aa in the Capital itself. In
dicate tbe not remote approach of tbe
fall political open in r. The city Is alert
with preparation. Hotels and boarding
bouse, private residences and shone,
streets aud sidewalks, are receiving the
touches of renovation, and are having
their youth and freahnea renewed with
such cosmetics as paint, white-wash,
wall paper and paving stones.
The moat conspicuous improvement It
that which baa been made at the Capi
tol. . Marble terraces have beea built
about the north and west wings with
the result of improving the sy metrical
effect of the building by reducing the
disproportion of the dome.
Between forty and fifty workmen are
now engaged in the work-sheds oppo
site the south eide of the Capitol pre
paring the marble and granite blocks
for t he terraces. This work is being
pushed along- rapidly. The terrace
work has advanced so far as to enable
one to see tbe beauty and value of tbe
Improvement. There a re 150 men em
ployed at the work. These include la
borers, brick-layers and well-diggers.
Tbe latter are employed in sinking
wells down some twenty-flve feet below
the present surface of the ground,
wells are filled np with concrete and
stone masonry, and between the wells
massive brick-arches are constructed to
support the walls. This method is
adopted to 6ave expense, time, and to
secure a solid foundation. To excavate
the entire foundation would be dan
generous. The contra t r feels assured
that he can finish the north and south
parts of the terrace before the close of
the present building season. Prepara
tions are now being made to lay the
flagging of the north terrace, which also
forms the roofs of the vaults. There
will be twenty large rooms on tbe north
side. Some of tbem will be ready for
occupation in about two weeks time.
These rooms will relieve the interior
part of Ihe Capitol of a vast number of
documents.
In the building itself much '.a being
done to prepare for the coming Con
gress. Some of tbe committee rooms,
particularly that of commerce, claims
an library on the House side, and
privileges and elections on the Senate,
are being handsomely fitted up, and the
ceilings and walls frescoed. The paint
ings, 'The Battle of the Thames.' and
the 'Capitulation of tbe City of Mexico,'
have been finished and will soon be
placed in position in tbe rotunda. Such
is the pressure for Committee rooms in
the building that the document room
bad to be removed to an interior part,
where there is but little ventilation,
and the room surrendered to the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs. The Sec
retary of State when couferring with
this committee does so in secret. The
clerks, therefore, to carry on their work
are n-quirsd to seek desk room in other
places. Tbe document room was seized
upm to obviate this difficulty.
A large force of men are painting the
interior of the dome. Preparations
will soon be mad to lay the carpets iu
the Senate ami House chambers. The
Supreme Court chamber has been paint
ed, and the marble cleaned down. On
all siditS the bnay workmam is seen
landing his hand to beautify the build
tng before Congress convenes.
The east front of the building has
been holy-stoned to whiteness.aU marks
of the njHllowing band of time being
ohi iterated by removing a thin layer of
the surface of the marble In the wings,
so as to correspond with the white
painted surface of the old portion of
th building.
The new Pension building has been
almost completed and is already oc
cupied by the Commissioner of Pen
sions and his vast army of assistants
and clerks. The Pension building ia
ugly in the extreme, and I thluk it will
be used as a warning, and end the brick
era in National Architecture. For a
building so vast, and so enduring, no
worse design or material could have
been adopted. It looks like a factory
or a mammoth prison and it is so un
fortunately situated as to be conspicous
fram all paita of the citv. K.
The Normal Schools. In our
judgment the Stote has already invested
by far too much money in the Normal
branch of our system, without burying
any more capital In that way. The
Philadelphia Record remarks : ''There
is a movement on foot to establish
another State Normal School in what is
called the Fourth district, made up of
the counties of Luzerne, Carbon, Moo-
roe, waynn. I'ike and NortbamDton
There are plenty of mountain top loca
tions in the Fourth district where school
buildings could be placed.with the ad
vantages of good water, fresh air and
fine perspective. There are plenty of
young persons in the Fourth district to
make teachers of. There are also plenty
or arcnnecTS. carpenters, bricklayers
masons and other art isans who would be
gud to build an extensive and expen
5172 structure. Before money is appro-
PHited for tne purpose, however. It will
be worth while to inauire whether
another Normal school is needed. There
is. no need for another, and there is no
need for half the number now in exist
ence. The money of the State is frit
tered away In these establishments,
which, like scattering shot, hit every
thing but the target. They are really
to a great extent private cpecnlatians,
with only a colorable public utility.
Any further money expended by tbe
State for Normal schools should go to
improve the quality and not the quan
tity." We predict that before fifteen years
more all those establishments will Ns
sold for a soog to private parties. A
lobby every year invade the Legisla
ture for appropriations, and as soon as
that stops, which it must in a few years,
then a pale will he advocated and the
State will lose its cash.

ing from my limbs, and It haa xcorksd a
miracle In ny case; otherwise I would bave
been now in my grave.
